Abstract

The term 'transition' is a new label coined by the researcher to better reveals the TRANSLATION processes at work by a majority of Iranian EFL LEARNERS involved in TRANSLATION activities. 'Transition' stands for 'TRANSLATION-composition', an exercise mainly applied by less-proficient translators, where the product - the translated material - is partially based on the source language but largely on the translator's idiosyncratic version of what the story is likely about. One criterion to judge the value of a translated work is to read it without comparison with the original to find out whether it makes sense as far as the target language is concerned. My experience as a teacher of TRANSLATION courses at different universities has shown that a good number of English-Persian translator trainees make up their own stories such that the target passage, if not compared with the source, seems to be totally acceptable.The study reported here involved 62 Iranian EFL university students taking an advanced TRANSLATION course. Their TRANSLATION assignments revealed a good deal of 'transition', and quantitative as well as qualitative analyses were carried out in an attempt to find out why such 'transitions' were opted for. The paper discusses further results as well as the implications for TRANSLATION pedagogy.
